In the end, my sandal gave its last breath, and I bid farewell to the mountain top and fell off the cliff.
Even as I fell, I was so flabbergasted that I couldn’t believe it.
The fleeting thoughts that crossed my mind were trivial things like ‘The odds of surviving here are like getting struck by lightning, so if I live, I should buy a lottery ticket,’ or ‘Is this how I’m going to wrap up my graduate life?’
But as a severe pain that even took away my voice rushed in with a strong shock, only then did I believe it.
Ah, I’m going to die here.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]“No, how are we going to take this child! We already have five children!”
“So, you want to push it onto us? Even though you clearly know the situation?”
I opened my stiff eyes to the loud, noisy quarreling.
And I immediately froze.
I was standing in the middle of a graveyard.
For a moment, I thought I had become a ghost watching my own funeral, but then I saw the relatives fighting with each other on both sides of me.
They didn’t look Korean at all, and their clothes looked like something from a Western painting, giving me the feeling that I had been dropped into another world.
Even the language they were spouting was foreign to me, but I could understand it as naturally as my mother tongue.
I raised my hand to rub my eyes, and a chubby palm came into view.
Once again, I looked around, and my height, barely reaching an adult’s waist, told me everything.
I was in a different body, a very young one.
The sudden situation made my breath catch, but I took deep breaths. Panicking wouldn’t change the situation now.
I opened my eyes wide and tried hard to grasp the situation.
Looking at the two coffins in front of me, I realized I was an orphan. And looking at the relatives, I was an orphan that nobody wanted.
“What to do.”
The moment I mumbled to myself, someone pushed me sharply.
“You take her!”
I was pushed back again from the other side.
“What are you talking about!”
My vision was shaken to the point of nausea.
Fearing that even my hair would be grabbed next, I quickly crawled out.
I thought an orphanage would be better at this rate.
“Let’s just send her to an orphanage!”
I was momentarily relieved by the words I wanted to hear and turned around.
“I hear the orphanages are in chaos these days because they don’t have any girls, to the point of giving money.”
The voices agreeing grew louder, and all eyes were pinned on me, lying on the ground.
My spine chilled.
At this rate, I might as well find a way to live on my own, barely scraping by.
I made up my mind and started to run in a panic.
“Catch her!”
“Ahhhhhh!”
I ran, calling out to my feet to save me.
But my legs were short.
And unlike my former body, which was honed by mountain climbing, my whole body was chubby, and running clumsily was my limit.
The moment my breath was about to reach the tip of my chin, my foot caught on a rock.
I was about to fall flat, but someone picked me up.
“Are you okay?”
A woman with brown eyes and hair of the same color smiled warmly at me. Next to her stood a man with silver hair and red eyes, who must have been quite handsome in his youth.
I was startled and blinked my eyes, just as the relatives caught up with us.
“Hand her over.”
“No!”
Thinking that if she were taken away like this, she would truly become a slave in this lifetime, she threw her arm around the woman’s neck and clung tightly.
“They want to sell me into slavery!”
She clung even more tightly, her eyes welling with tears, to elicit sympathy from the woman who seemed relatively kind.
“Really?”
At a glance, the woman’s eyes sparkled, and her shabbylooking relatives hesitated when they saw her in her luxurious clothing.
“Slavery? What nonsense. It seems she has misunderstood the orphanage.”
As a relative reached out again, a man blocked the way.
“If you were going to send her to an orphanage anyway, we’ll take her.”
The relatives looked at each other and then stared at the man. More precisely, at his elegant attire.
“How can we trust you with our precious child? At least you must prove that you can raise her properly……”
“Is this enough?”
As the man handed over a small purse jingling with coins, the relatives’ mouths fell open at the amount.
“Well, you can raise her well.”
So, I was quickly sold and sat in a large carriage.
The seat seemed to envelop my hips so comfortably that I thought I could sleep soundly even on a bumpy road.
As my situation changed so rapidly, I felt more anxiety than relief.
Why would he spend money to take me?
Am I as adorable as a cat that is forgiven for everything by its appearance?
I felt my face, but all I could touch were plump cheeks.
“You must be surprised, Reina?” the woman stroked my head.
She called my name very familiarly, a name I didn’t even know myself.
“I should have come earlier, I’m really sorry.”
“Do you… know me?”
I don’t even know who I am.
“Yes, I’m your mother’s closest friend.”
“My mother?”
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
